"We don't make movies for critics, since they don't pay to see them anyhow." -Charles Bronson

Just found that quote on imdb.com and am totally in love with it :-D

Snagged this from DKoren's other blog. I'm gonna do it with Windows Media Player because I have no ipod (nor do I particularly want one).

Here're the rules for those interested in playing along.
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Play tag, have fun, and all that jazz.


And now my WMP declares:

IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY?
"Someday" by Nickelback (Well, somewhat appropriate, what with the lyric "Someday, somehow, I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now....")

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF
"Come Save Me" from Boy from Oz by Hugh Jackman and some chick (Hmm, I do sometimes need a bit of rescuing from a certain tiny tyke)

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
"With or Without You" by U2 (Oh man, this is the song I always associate with Angel. How weird is that?)

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
"God's Got an Army" by Carmen (Hmm.)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
"The Rifleman" main theme (Hee, so my life's purpose is to shoot people? I dig it!)

WHAT'S YOUR MOTTO?
"Pas de Deux" from The Nutcracker (Well, I do like dancing....)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down (Yeesh, I hope not. Thought it IS about friends sticking together through thick and thin, so that might be a good pick after all)

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
"God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys (Entirely too appropriate)

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
"Ask for More" by Shakira (Hee, too true)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
"The Fourth Musketeer" from The Three Musketeers soundtrack (Lol, that fits!)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
"Hogan's Heroes" main theme (So... my life is a funny version of WWII? I can see that)

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
"The Christmas Guest" by Johnny Cash (Too perfect! I love Christmas)

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
"Broken" by Seether featuring Amy Lee (I hope that's a reference to how the mourners are feeling, and not the state of my corpse)

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
"In Pace" from the Hamlet soundtrack (Mmmmm, Hamlet. Totally my hobby/interest)

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
"Fading Like a Flower" by Roxette (Lol, not something I've ever worried about)

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
"Should've Listened" by Nickelback (Hee hee)

WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?
"The Dark Mark" from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire soundtrack (I do not! I swear!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
"Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass (Giggling)

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
"Killing Me Softly with His Song" by Roberta Flack (Ohhhhh boy.)

It's true. He says it a lot. And then we watch bits of Combat! or songvids on YouTube. He's starting to say other character's names too, but Kirby is his first and his favorite to say.

(This picture is currently the home page pic for a C! discussion group I belong to. And nope, I didn't make it.)
It's been a rough morning, so to distract Dano (and myself) from the crankiness du jour, I started finding John Wayne videos on YouTube. Dano quickly learned to say 'Duke' and even sometimes pointed at the right guy when he said it. Here's one of the vids I found, one that made me laugh and laugh. And maaaaaaaan, was John Wayne ever tall! Sometimes I forget, or get used to, him being 6'4", and then I see him next to someone like Bing Crosby and think, "Boy, howdy, he really was tall!"

I've got a new fanfic story up on Fruit Salad! It's called "Walk a Crooked Mile" and is one of the stories I wrote during NaNoWriMo last year. Go read it -- it's only about twelve pages! Hey, come on, that's short for me!
